SEOUL, Apr. 10 (Yonhap) -- Writer Noh Hee-kyung's "Our Blues," which captures the beautiful scenery of Jeju Island, starts with a viewer rating of 7 percent.
According to Nielsen Korea, a rating research company, on the 10th, the first broadcast of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "Our Blues," aired at 9:10 p.m. the previous day, records 7.3 percent.
"Our Blues," an omnibus drama, is story of a lively Jeju five-day village market and people in there. The first episode depicted Choi Han-soo (played by Cha Seoung-won) and Jung Eun-hee (played by Lee Jung-eun) reuniting after 20 years.
Han-soo, a banker who had to borrow money to pay for his daughter's golf study abroad, was transferred to his hometown Jeju, and Eun-hee, who succeeded as a manager of her fish store with annual income of 2.3 billion won, was living tenaciously every day.
Hand-soo, burdened by the weight of his hard life, smiled at Eun-hee's appearance, which was still rough but bold, and Eun-hee bursts into laughter as she recalled the memory of giving a surprise kiss to Han-soo when she was a student.
Writer Noh, who returned four years after the drama ‘Live’ (2018), fills the drama with warm and humane sensibility while at the same time portraying lonely Han-soo and Eun-hee living hard in reality.
Splendid lineup of other characters, which is to appear in the next episode after the story of Han-soo and Eun-hee, also draws attention.
Kim Woo-bin, who returns to the drama after six years of overcoming nasopharyngeal cancer, plays a character Park Jeong-joon and Han Ji-min takes role of Lee Young-ok, a haenyeo (woman diver) from land, making fresh love line with Park Jeong-joon. Also, despite Lee Byung-hun’s short appearance as a trucker as well as jack of all trades, he caught the audiences’ eyes with realistic daily acting.
Meanwhile, JTBC's "My Liberation Notes," which first aired at 10:30 p.m. on the same day, records a 2.9 percent viewer rating.
In the first episode, daily lives of three siblings living in a quiet rural village Sanpo, were introduced.
First, Yeom Ki-jung (Lee El) complained to her friend, saying that the blind date she went on "failed," while Yeom Chang-hee (Lee Min-ki), her brother, faced a breakup notice from his lover, who told him that she cannot stand him because he is out of style. The youngest of three siblings, Yeom Mi-jung (Kim Ji-won), is an introverted character having difficulty in relationships even at work and office dinners.
Overall, the drama captures the concern of each character in calm mood.
